Description
A special hardback gift edition of classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the eighth book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels. 'Effortlessly, generously funny' Sunday Times 'Pratchett at his best' 5-star reader review 'The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.' Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some time off. Apparently. But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. In the seemingly peaceful countryside, Vimes discovers much more than a body in the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep, dark secret. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder. Vimes is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment. They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ... Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order. Praise for the Discworld series: '[Pratchett's] spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday 'Pratchett is a master storyteller' Guardian 'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin 'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone' Daily Express 'One of the most consistently funny writers around' Ben Aaronovitch 'Masterful and brilliant' Fantasy & Science Fiction 'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own... he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times 'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph 'Nothing short of magical' Chicago Tribune 'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX '[Discworld is] compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world...There's never been anything quite like it' Evening Standard
